With marius' reply in my ZoneAlarm thread, perhaps you might want to add the following to the FAQ:

Q. Does Netstumbler need TCP/IP enabled on your wireless card at all? (Or: why does ZoneAlarm occasionally show Netstumbler wanting to access 255.255.255.255 port 192?)

A. Netstumbler doesn't need the TCP/IP protocol bound to the wireless adapter to get SSIDs. However, if you want to be able to determine the wired-side MAC address on certain Orinoco APs, you need to have TCP/IP enabled so that Netstumbler can send a query to IP 255.255.255.255 port 192 to fetch that info.

(Or something to that effect.)
